次に所要の各部位について詳説する。
始動ゲート１８は、門形構造をなしかつ検出スイッチを内蔵し、始動ゲート１８を通過した遊技球が検出スイッチにて検出される。そして、その検出信号に基づいて、後述する普通図柄表示領域２４の図柄が変動表示される。 Next, each required part will be described in detail.
The start gate 18 has a gate structure and a detection switch, and a game ball that has passed through the start gate 18 is detected by the detection switch. Based on the detection signal, the symbols in the normal symbol display area 24 to be described later are variably displayed.

始動入賞口１４は、所謂、ポケット構造をなして上方に向かって開口しており、その開口の両側部には可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃが備えられている。これら両可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃは、常には起立状態になっており、両可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃに挟まれた始動入賞口１４の開口幅は、遊技球が約１つ入る大きさになっている。そして、遊技盤１１の裏に設けたソレノイドが駆動されると、可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃが横に倒され（図２の状態）、遊技球が可動翼片１４Ｃに案内されて始動入賞口１４に入り得る状態になる。   The start winning opening 14 has a so-called pocket structure and opens upward, and movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are provided on both sides of the opening. Both the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C are always in an upright state, and the opening width of the start winning opening 14 sandwiched between the two movable wing pieces 14C, 14C is large enough to accommodate about one game ball. ing. When the solenoid provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, the movable wing pieces 14C, 14C are tilted sideways (the state shown in FIG. 2), and the game ball is guided to the movable wing piece 14C to start the winning prize opening 14 Ready to enter.

始動入賞口１４に遊技球が入賞すると、始動入賞口１４内に設けた検出スイッチが遊技球を検出し、その検出信号に基づいて表示装置１３が後述するように図柄を変動表示する。なお、表示装置１３が図柄を変動表示している間に、始動入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球は、例えば、４個まで累積カウントされる。   When a game ball wins in the start winning opening 14, a detection switch provided in the start winning opening 14 detects the game ball, and the display device 13 variably displays the symbols based on the detection signal as described later. In addition, while the display device 13 displays the symbols in a variable manner, up to four winning balls that are won in the start winning opening 14 are cumulatively counted, for example.

大入賞口１５は、横長に形成されて、常には、可動扉１５Ｔにて閉塞されている。そして、後述する所定条件の成立によって、パチンコ遊技機が「大当たり状態」（本発明の「特別遊技状態」に相当する）になると、遊技盤１１の裏に設けたソレノイドが駆動され、可動扉１５Ｔが所定期間に亘って前側に倒れる（図２の状態）。これにより、大入賞口１５が開放され、可動扉１５Ｔを案内にして、大入賞口１５に多くの遊技球が入賞可能になる。ここで、可動扉１５Ｔが、開放してから閉じるまでの間を「ラウンド」と称すると、１つのラウンドは、可動扉１５Ｔの開放時間が２９秒に達したか、又は、大入賞口１５に遊技球が１０個入賞したか、の何れかの条件が先に満たされた場合に終了する。   The special winning opening 15 is formed in a horizontally long shape and is normally closed by the movable door 15T. When the pachinko gaming machine is in the “hit state” (corresponding to the “special gaming state” of the present invention) due to the establishment of a predetermined condition to be described later, the solenoid provided on the back of the gaming board 11 is driven to move the movable door 15T. Falls to the front side over a predetermined period (state shown in FIG. 2). Thereby, the grand prize opening 15 is opened, and a large number of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 15 by using the movable door 15T as a guide. Here, when a period from when the movable door 15T is opened until it is closed is referred to as a “round”, in one round, the opening time of the movable door 15T has reached 29 seconds, or The process ends when any of the 10 game balls has been won or the condition is satisfied first.

大入賞口１５の内部には、継続入賞口と計数入賞口とが設けられており、これら継続入賞口及び計数入賞口が開放される。より詳細には、可動扉１５Ｔが開いたときには、継続入賞口は開放しており、継続入賞口に入賞後、ソレノイドが駆動されて、継続入賞口が閉鎖される一方、計数入賞口は開放されたままとなる。そして、継続入賞口内に設けた検出スイッチが遊技球の入賞を検出すると、前述した終了条件を満たしてラウンドが終了した後で、連続して次のラウンドが実行される。また、計数入賞口内に設けた検出スイッチが遊技球の入賞を検出すると、継続入賞口への入賞球と合わせて、大入賞口１５への入賞球がカウントされ、これらが前記したように計１０個に達したか否かがチェックされる。   A continuous winning opening and a counting winning opening are provided inside the big winning opening 15, and the continuous winning opening and the counting winning opening are opened. More specifically, when the movable door 15T is opened, the continuous winning opening is opened, and after winning the continuous winning opening, the solenoid is driven to close the continuous winning opening, while the counting winning opening is opened. Will remain. Then, when the detection switch provided in the continuous winning opening detects the winning of the game ball, the next round is continuously executed after the end condition is satisfied and the round ends. When the detection switch provided in the counting prize opening detects the winning of the game ball, the winning balls to the big prize opening 15 are counted together with the winning balls to the continuous prize opening, and as described above, a total of 10 It is checked whether the number has been reached.

表示装置１３は、全体として枠形構造をなした装飾枠２３の後端面に、図示しない液晶モジュール（詳細には、ＴＦＴ−ＬＣＤモジュール）を組み付けてなる。液晶モジュールのうち、装飾枠２３に形成された横長の表示窓２３Ｗで取り囲まれた前面部分は、表示部３４となっており、遊技者は、装飾枠２３の表示窓２３Ｗを通して表示部３４に表示された画像を見ることができる。   The display device 13 is constructed by assembling a liquid crystal module (not shown) (in detail, a TFT-LCD module) on the rear end face of the decorative frame 23 having a frame structure as a whole. In the liquid crystal module, a front portion surrounded by a horizontally long display window 23 </ b> W formed in the decorative frame 23 is a display unit 34, and the player displays on the display unit 34 through the display window 23 </ b> W of the decorative frame 23. Can be seen.

表示装置１３の表示部３４には、図１に示すように、通常は、左、中、右の３つの特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃが、横並びに表示されている。これら各特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃは、例えば、「０」〜「１１」の数字を表記した複数種類のもので構成されており、通常は、各特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃごと、所定の種類のものが、表示部３４に確定表示されている。そして、始動入賞口１４に遊技球が入賞したときに、各特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃが、上下方向にスクロールして変動表示され、所定時間後に、例えば、左、中、右の順で各特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃが停止表示される。このとき、例えば、全ての特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃが同じ図柄、即ち、ぞろ目になった場合に、遊技が「大当たり状態」になり、可動扉１５Ｔが開かれる。   As shown in FIG. 1, three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C of left, middle, and right are normally displayed side by side on the display unit 34 of the display device 13. Each of these special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is composed of, for example, a plurality of types that express numbers from “0” to “11”. Usually, each special symbol 13A, 13B, and 13C has a predetermined value. The types are confirmed and displayed on the display unit 34. Then, when the game ball is won at the start winning opening 14, each special symbol 13A, 13B, 13C is scrolled up and down to be displayed in a variably manner. After a predetermined time, for example, in the order of left, middle, right Special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed. At this time, for example, when all the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are the same symbol, that is, when they are all in a rough state, the game becomes a “hit state” and the movable door 15T is opened.

表示部３４のうち、特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃの表示領域の左下隅には、普通図柄表示領域２４が設けられている。この普通図柄表示領域２４は、始動ゲート１８内に設けた検出スイッチが遊技球の通過を検出したときに、例えば、「０」〜「９」までの数字を所定期間に亘って変動表示した後、所定の数字を確定表示する。そして、確定表示された数字が、例えば、奇数の場合に、前記始動入賞口１４に設けた前記可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃが所定期間（例えば、０．４秒）に亘って横に倒される。また、普通図柄表示領域２４が変動表示している間に始動ゲート１８を通過した遊技球は、例えば、４つまで累積カウントされ、例えば、図示しないＬＥＤの点灯数で表示される。   A normal symbol display area 24 is provided in the lower left corner of the display area of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C in the display unit 34. The normal symbol display area 24 is displayed after, for example, the numbers from “0” to “9” are variably displayed over a predetermined period when the detection switch provided in the start gate 18 detects the passage of the game ball. The predetermined number is fixedly displayed. For example, when the final number displayed is an odd number, the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C provided in the start winning opening 14 are tilted sideways over a predetermined period (for example, 0.4 seconds). In addition, for example, up to four game balls that have passed through the start gate 18 while the normal symbol display area 24 is variably displayed are displayed, for example, by the number of lighting LEDs (not shown).

ところで、装飾枠２３は、遊技盤１１に形成された図示しない取付窓に嵌め込まれて、周縁部から張り出した複数のフランジ部４９を遊技盤１１面に突き当てて固定されている。また、装飾枠２３の上辺から右側部に亘った部分は、遊技盤１１から前方（図２における紙面手前側）に突出している。   By the way, the decorative frame 23 is fitted into a mounting window (not shown) formed on the game board 11 and fixed by abutting a plurality of flange portions 49 protruding from the peripheral edge against the surface of the game board 11. Further, a portion extending from the upper side to the right side of the decorative frame 23 protrudes forward (the front side in FIG. 2) from the game board 11.

装飾枠２３の上辺部分と表示窓２３Ｗの右側部分とには、遊技球が通過する遊技球通路２６が形成されている。また、装飾枠２３の下辺部分には、遊技球が転動可能な前側ステージ２５Ｆと後側ステージ２５Ｂとが前後に並べて形成されている。さらに、後側ステージ２５Ｂの上方には、球転動部６０が設けられている。そして、遊技領域Ｒ１上を表示装置１３の上方から流下した遊技球が、装飾枠２３の上辺部分に上方を向いて開放した入球口３９から装飾枠２３内に転入し、遊技球通路２６を通過して、各ステージ２５Ｆ，２５Ｂ又は球転動部６０上に案内される。   A game ball passage 26 through which a game ball passes is formed in the upper side portion of the decorative frame 23 and the right side portion of the display window 23W. Further, on the lower side portion of the decorative frame 23, a front stage 25F and a rear stage 25B on which a game ball can roll are formed side by side. Furthermore, a ball rolling unit 60 is provided above the rear stage 25B. Then, the game ball flowing down from the upper side of the display device 13 on the game area R1 moves into the decoration frame 23 from the entrance 39 opened upward toward the upper side portion of the decoration frame 23, and passes through the game ball passage 26. It passes and is guided on each stage 25F, 25B or ball rolling part 60.

遊技球通路２６は、装飾枠２３の上辺部分に形成された上辺通路４０と表示窓２３Ｗの右側部分に形成された右側通路５０とから構成される。   The game ball passage 26 includes an upper side passage 40 formed in the upper side portion of the decorative frame 23 and a right side passage 50 formed in the right side portion of the display window 23W.

まず、上辺通路４０について説明する。上辺通路４０は、装飾枠２３の上辺の内部に形成された内部通路部４１を備える。内部通路部４１は、前記した入球口３９から装飾枠２３の上辺の左隅位置に形成された出球口４３に向かって屈曲しながら延びている。そして、図３に示すように、出球口４３は、表示窓２３Ｗの上辺よりも上側位置で右方向に開口している。   First, the upper side passage 40 will be described. The upper side passage 40 includes an inner passage portion 41 formed inside the upper side of the decorative frame 23. The internal passage portion 41 extends while being bent from the aforementioned entrance 39 to the exit 43 formed at the left corner of the upper side of the decorative frame 23. As shown in FIG. 3, the exit opening 43 opens in the right direction at a position above the upper side of the display window 23 </ b> W.

装飾枠２３のうち、表示窓２３Ｗの上辺より上側の部分には、帯板状の磁石板４２が内蔵されている。磁石板４２は、内部通路部４１の出球口４３の上方位置から、後述する右側通路５０の上方位置に向かって下方に傾斜して設けられている。これにより、入球口３９から装飾枠２３内に進入し、内部通路部４１内を転動した遊技球は、出球口４３において磁石板４２の左端部分に吸引される。そして、遊技球は磁石板４２の下面にぶら下がった状態のまま、磁石板４２の右端部分に向かって移動する（図３を参照）。ここで、磁石板４２の下面には、樹脂製の隔壁４４が敷設されており、この隔壁４４は、磁石板４２の右端部分において肉厚となっている。これにより、磁石板４２による遊技球の吸引力は、磁石板４２の右端部分にて弱められ、この位置、即ち、右側通路５０の上方位置で遊技球は自重によって磁石板４２から落下するように構成されている。   A band plate-like magnet plate 42 is built in a portion of the decorative frame 23 above the upper side of the display window 23W. The magnet plate 42 is provided so as to be inclined downward from a position above the ball outlet 43 of the internal passage portion 41 toward an upper position of the right passage 50 described later. Accordingly, the game ball that has entered the decorative frame 23 from the entrance 39 and rolled in the internal passage portion 41 is attracted to the left end portion of the magnet plate 42 at the exit 43. Then, the game ball moves toward the right end portion of the magnet plate 42 while being hung from the lower surface of the magnet plate 42 (see FIG. 3). Here, a resin partition 44 is laid on the lower surface of the magnet plate 42, and the partition 44 is thick at the right end portion of the magnet plate 42. Thereby, the attraction force of the game ball by the magnet plate 42 is weakened at the right end portion of the magnet plate 42, so that the game ball falls from the magnet plate 42 by its own weight at this position, that is, at a position above the right passage 50. It is configured.

次に、遊技球通路２６を構成する右側通路５０について説明する。右側通路５０は、前記したように、磁石板４２の右端部よりも下方に設けられ、図４に示すように、囲壁４８の内部に上側遊転部５１と下側遊転部５２とを上下に備えてなる。   Next, the right side passage 50 constituting the game ball passage 26 will be described. As described above, the right passage 50 is provided below the right end portion of the magnet plate 42. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper and lower free-moving portions 51 and 52 are vertically moved inside the surrounding wall 48. As shown in FIG. Be prepared for.

まず、上側遊転部５１について説明する。上側遊転部５１は、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａと、案内路５１Ｂとを上下に配置してなる。誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａは、矩形板の中央を円形に陥没させた構造をなす。図５に示すように、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの前端部上方の右端位置からは、遊技機前方（図５における下方）に向かって球受け樋５３が延設されている。この球受け樋５３は、断面が略円弧形状をなし、磁石板４２の右端部分の真下位置まで延びている（図３を参照）。また、球受け樋５３は、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａに向かって下方に傾斜しており、磁石板４２から落下した遊技球は、球受け樋５３に受けられて、その傾斜によって誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａに案内される。   First, the upper idler 51 will be described. The upper free-wheeling portion 51 is configured by arranging a guide-way sorting free-floating plate 51A and a guide way 51B vertically. The guide path sorting idle plate 51A has a structure in which the center of the rectangular plate is recessed in a circular shape. As shown in FIG. 5, a ball receiving rod 53 extends from the right end position above the front end portion of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51 </ b> A toward the front of the gaming machine (downward in FIG. 5). The ball receiving rod 53 has a substantially arc-shaped cross section and extends to a position directly below the right end portion of the magnet plate 42 (see FIG. 3). Further, the ball receiving bowl 53 is inclined downward toward the guide path sorting floating plate 51A, and the game ball dropped from the magnet plate 42 is received by the ball receiving bowl 53, and the guidance path is sorted by the inclination. It is guided to the idle plate 51A.

図４に示すように、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの底面は、中心部に向かって緩やかに下方に傾斜している。また、図５に示すように、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの中央部分には、遊技球１つ分の大きさの落下孔５４Ｌ，５４Ｒが左右に並んで形成されている。これらにより、球受け樋５３によって誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａ上に案内された遊技球は、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａ上で、図５における反時計周りの方向に転動しながら、徐々に中央部分に移動し、落下孔５４Ｌ，５４Ｒの何れかから誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの下方に流下（落下）する。   As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom surface of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51 </ b> A is gently inclined downward toward the center. As shown in FIG. 5, drop holes 54 </ b> L and 54 </ b> R each having a size equivalent to one game ball are formed side by side in the central portion of the guide path sorting and spinning tray 51 </ b> A. As a result, the game ball guided onto the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A by the ball receiving cage 53 gradually moves while rolling in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5 on the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A. It moves to the central portion and flows down (drops) from either one of the drop holes 54L and 54R to the lower part of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A.

誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの下方に設けられた案内路５１Ｂは、図６に示すように、左右方向の中間部分に起立した区画壁７１によって遊技球を誘導する経路が２つに分割されている。詳細には、案内路５１Ｂのうち、区画壁７１よりも右側に形成された右案内路５８は、図５に示すように、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの右側の落下孔５４Ｒの真下位置から右方向へ向かい、途中で約９０°折れ曲がって遊技機前方（図５及び図６における下方）に向かって延びている。右案内路５８は落下孔５４Ｒの真下位置から先端部５８Ｓに向かって下方に傾斜しており、右案内路５８の先端部５８Ｓは、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの前端縁よりも遊技機前方へ突出している。これにより、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの右側の落下孔５４Ｒから流下（落下）した遊技球は、右案内路５８を通って誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの前端縁よりも前側の位置から下方に流下（落下）される。   As shown in FIG. 6, the guide path 51B provided below the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A is divided into two paths for guiding the game ball by the partition wall 71 standing in the middle portion in the left-right direction. Yes. Specifically, in the guide path 51B, the right guide path 58 formed on the right side of the partition wall 71 is, as shown in FIG. 5, from a position directly below the drop hole 54R on the right side of the guide path sorting and rotating plate 51A. It goes to the right and bends about 90 ° in the middle and extends toward the front of the gaming machine (downward in FIGS. 5 and 6). The right guide path 58 is inclined downward from the position directly below the drop hole 54R toward the tip 58S, and the tip 58S of the right guide 58 is ahead of the gaming machine than the front edge of the guide path sorting and rolling plate 51A. Protruding to Thereby, the game ball that has flowed down (falled) from the right-side drop hole 54R of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A passes through the right guide path 58 and is lower than the front side position of the front edge of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A. (Flowing down).

一方、案内路５１Ｂのうち、区画壁７１よりも左側に形成された左案内路５７（本発明の「球受渡し部」に相当する）は、図５に示すように誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの左側の落下孔５４Ｌの真下位置から左方向に向かって下方に傾斜しながら延びている。そして、図６に示すように、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓが、囲壁４８に形成された矩形窓４８Ｗに臨んでいる。なお、図４及び図５に示すように、案内路５１Ｂのうち、落下孔５４Ｌ，５４Ｒの真下位置には、それぞれ三角突片７０，７０が設けられている。これにより落下孔５４Ｌ，５４Ｒから落下した遊技球は、これら三角突片７０，７０に当接することで速やかに各案内路５７，５８の先端部５７Ｓ，５８Ｓに向かって転動する。以上が上側遊転部５１の説明である。   On the other hand, in the guide path 51B, a left guide path 57 (corresponding to the “ball delivery section” of the present invention) formed on the left side of the partition wall 71 is a guide path sorting and rotating plate 51A as shown in FIG. It extends while inclining downward from the position directly below the left drop hole 54L toward the left. As shown in FIG. 6, the front end portion 57 </ b> S of the left guide path 57 faces a rectangular window 48 </ b> W formed in the surrounding wall 48. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, triangular protrusions 70 and 70 are provided in the guide path 51 </ b> B directly below the drop holes 54 </ b> L and 54 </ b> R, respectively. Thereby, the game ball dropped from the drop holes 54L and 54R quickly rolls toward the tip portions 57S and 58S of the guide paths 57 and 58 by coming into contact with the triangular protrusions 70 and 70. The above is the description of the upper idler 51.

上述した上側遊転部５１の下方に設けられた下側遊転部５２は、図７に示されており、上側遊転部５１に備えられた誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａと同様に、矩形板の中央を円形に陥没させた構造をなす。下側遊転部５２の前端部の右端位置からは、遊技機前方（図７における下方）に向かって球受け樋５６が延設され、この球受け樋５６は、前記右案内路５８の先端部５８Ｓよりも遊技機前方へ突出している（図６を参照）。球受け樋５６は、先端部から下側遊転部５２に向かって下方に傾斜しており、右案内路５８の先端部から流下（落下）した遊技球は、この球受け樋５６に受け止められて、下側遊転部５２上に案内される。   The lower idler 52 provided below the upper idler 51 described above is shown in FIG. 7 and has a rectangular shape similar to the guide path distribution idler plate 51A provided in the upper idler 51. The center of the plate is recessed into a circle. From the right end position of the front end portion of the lower idler 52, a ball receiving rod 56 extends toward the front of the gaming machine (downward in FIG. 7), and this ball receiving rod 56 is the tip of the right guide path 58. It protrudes forward of the gaming machine from the portion 58S (see FIG. 6). The ball receiving cage 56 is inclined downward from the tip portion toward the lower idler portion 52, and the game ball flowing down (falling) from the tip portion of the right guide path 58 is received by the ball receiving cage 56. Thus, it is guided onto the lower idler 52.

図４に示すように、下側遊転部５２は、中心部に向かって緩やかに下方に傾斜している。また、図７に示すように、下側遊転部５２の中央部分には、遊技球１つ分の大きさの落下孔５５が３つ形成されている。これら３つの落下孔５５は、互いに１２０°ずつ離れた位置に設けられている。そして、球受け樋５６によって下側遊転部５２上に案内された遊技球は、下側遊転部５２上で、図７における反時計回りの方向に転動しながら徐々に中央部分に移動して、３つの落下孔５５の何れかから、下側遊転部５２の下方へ流下（落下）する（誘導経路が振り分けられる）。   As shown in FIG. 4, the lower idler 52 is gently inclined downward toward the center. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, three drop holes 55 each having a size corresponding to one game ball are formed in the central portion of the lower idler 52. These three drop holes 55 are provided at positions separated from each other by 120 °. Then, the game ball guided onto the lower idler 52 by the ball receiving cage 56 gradually moves to the central portion while rolling in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 7 on the lower idler 52. Then, it flows down (drops) from below one of the three drop holes 55 to the lower free-running portion 52 (the guiding path is distributed).

図４に示すように、下側遊転部５２の下方には、前側ステージ案内路６４が設けられている。詳細には、前側ステージ案内路６４は、下側遊転部５２に形成された３つの落下孔５５のうち、右寄り位置に形成された２つの落下孔５５Ｒの下方に設けられている（図７を参照）。図４に示すように、前側ステージ案内路６４の上面は、緩やかに湾曲した円弧形状をなし、装飾枠２３の奥側から前側（図４における紙面奥側から手前側）に向かって下方に傾斜している。そして、前側ステージ案内路６４の前端部は、前側ステージ２５Ｆの右端部に連絡している。これにより、下側遊転部５２の落下孔５５Ｒから流下（落下）した遊技球は、前側ステージ案内路６４上に落下して、装飾枠２３の下辺に形成された前側ステージ２５Ｆへ案内される。なお、３つの落下孔５５のうち、左寄り位置に形成された１つの落下孔５５Ｌの真下部分は、後側ステージ２５Ｂの右端部となっている。つまり、下側遊転部５２の落下孔５５Ｌから流下（落下）した遊技球は、後側ステージ２５Ｂへ案内される。以上が下側遊転部５２の説明である。   As shown in FIG. 4, a front stage guide path 64 is provided below the lower idler 52. Specifically, the front stage guide path 64 is provided below two drop holes 55R formed at the right position among the three drop holes 55 formed in the lower idler 52 (FIG. 7). See). As shown in FIG. 4, the upper surface of the front stage guide path 64 has a gently curved arc shape, and is inclined downward from the back side of the decorative frame 23 toward the front side (from the back side to the front side in FIG. 4). is doing. The front end portion of the front stage guide path 64 communicates with the right end portion of the front stage 25F. Thereby, the game ball flowing down (falling) from the drop hole 55R of the lower idler 52 falls on the front stage guide path 64 and is guided to the front stage 25F formed on the lower side of the decorative frame 23. . Of the three drop holes 55, the portion directly below one drop hole 55L formed at the left side is the right end of the rear stage 25B. That is, the game ball that has flowed down (dropped) from the drop hole 55L of the lower idler 52 is guided to the rear stage 25B. The above is the description of the lower idler 52.

次に、装飾枠２３の下辺部分に形成された前側ステージ２５Ｆ及び後側ステージ２５Ｂについて説明する。図３に示すように、前側ステージ２５Ｆは、装飾枠２３の左右両側辺を繋ぐように延びており、左右の両端部から中央部に向かって下るように傾斜している。図８に示すように、前側ステージ２５Ｆの中央部には、前側ステージ２５Ｆの奥側から前方に向かって若干下方に傾斜した緩斜面８０が形成されている。前側ステージ２５Ｆの左右両端寄り部分の前端縁には、流下防止壁８１が起立しており、遊技球が前側ステージ２５Ｆの中央部分以外の位置から装飾枠２３の下方に流下することが防止されている。なお、図２に示すように、前側ステージ２５Ｆの緩斜面８０の真下位置には、前記始動入賞口１４が配置されており、前側ステージ２５Ｆの緩斜面８０から下方へ流下した遊技球が、始動入賞口１４へ入賞し易くなっている。   Next, the front stage 25F and the rear stage 25B formed on the lower side portion of the decorative frame 23 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the front stage 25 </ b> F extends so as to connect the left and right sides of the decorative frame 23, and is inclined so as to descend from the left and right ends toward the center. As shown in FIG. 8, at the center of the front stage 25F, a gentle slope 80 that is slightly inclined downward from the back side of the front stage 25F toward the front is formed. A flow-prevention wall 81 stands on the front end edge of the front stage 25F near the left and right ends, preventing the game ball from flowing down from the position other than the central portion of the front stage 25F below the decorative frame 23. Yes. As shown in FIG. 2, the start winning opening 14 is disposed immediately below the gentle slope 80 of the front stage 25F, and the game ball that has flowed downward from the gentle slope 80 of the front stage 25F is started. It is easy to win a prize opening 14.

一方、後側ステージ２５Ｂは、前側ステージ２５Ｆよりも装飾枠２３の奥側（図３における紙面奥側）に設けられかつ段付状に前側ステージ２５Ｆよりも高くなっている。後側ステージ２５Ｂも、前側ステージ２５Ｆと同様に、装飾枠２３の左右両側辺を繋ぐように形成されている。後側ステージ２５Ｂは、両端部から中央部に向かって下方に傾斜する一方、後側ステージ２５Ｂの中央部、即ち、前側ステージ２５Ｆの緩斜面８０の奥側部分には、山形に***した***部８３が形成されている（図３を参照）。そして、後側ステージ２５Ｂのうち、***部８３の左右両側の上面は、略円弧状に湾曲して凹形状をなすと共に後側ステージ２５Ｂの奥側から前端縁に向かうに従って下方に傾斜した緩斜面８４，８４が形成されている。さらに、後側ステージ２５Ｂのうち、緩斜面８４，８４が形成された部分以外の前端縁には落下防止壁８５が形成されている。これにより後側ステージ２５Ｂ上を転動した遊技球の一部は、後側ステージ２５Ｂの緩斜面８４，８４によって遊技機前方へ案内され、後側ステージ２５Ｂの前端縁から前側ステージ２５Ｆへ落下する。   On the other hand, the rear stage 25B is provided on the back side of the decorative frame 23 (the back side of the paper surface in FIG. 3) than the front stage 25F and is stepped higher than the front stage 25F. Similarly to the front stage 25F, the rear stage 25B is also formed so as to connect the left and right sides of the decorative frame 23. The rear stage 25B is inclined downward from both end portions toward the central portion, while a raised portion that is raised in a mountain shape at the central portion of the rear stage 25B, that is, at the back side portion of the gentle slope 80 of the front stage 25F. 83 is formed (see FIG. 3). The upper surfaces of the left and right sides of the raised portion 83 of the rear stage 25B are curved in a substantially arc shape to form a concave shape, and are gently inclined to be inclined downward from the back side of the rear stage 25B toward the front edge. 84, 84 are formed. Further, a fall prevention wall 85 is formed on the front edge of the rear stage 25B other than the portion where the gentle slopes 84, 84 are formed. As a result, a part of the game ball rolling on the rear stage 25B is guided forward by the gentle slopes 84, 84 of the rear stage 25B and falls from the front edge of the rear stage 25B to the front stage 25F. .

ここで、後側ステージ２５Ｂの***部８３には、ワープ路８２が形成されている。ワープ路８２は、後側ステージ２５Ｂの上面と前側ステージ２５Ｆの上面とを繋ぐように延びている。詳細には、後側ステージ２５Ｂの上面には、ワープ路８２の球入口８６が上方に開口しており、前側ステージ２５Ｆと後側ステージ２５Ｂとの間に形成された段差壁９９には、ワープ路８２の球出口８８が前方に開口している。これにより、後側ステージ２５Ｂ上を転動する遊技球が、***部８３に形成された球入口８６に転入し、ワープ路８２を通って、球出口８８から前側ステージ２５Ｆ（より詳細には、緩斜面８０）上へ案内されるようになっている。なお、ワープ路８２の奥部、即ち、球入口８６の真下位置には、前方に向かって下方に傾斜した三角突片８７（図３を参照）が起立しており、球入口８６からワープ路８２内に転入した遊技球が、確実に遊技機前方（前側ステージ２５Ｆ側）へ向かって転がるように構成されている。以上が前側ステージ２５Ｆ及び後側ステージ２５Ｂの説明である。   Here, a warp path 82 is formed in the raised portion 83 of the rear stage 25B. The warp path 82 extends so as to connect the upper surface of the rear stage 25B and the upper surface of the front stage 25F. Specifically, a ball entrance 86 of the warp path 82 is opened upward on the upper surface of the rear stage 25B, and a warp wall 99 formed between the front stage 25F and the rear stage 25B has a warp. A ball outlet 88 of the path 82 opens forward. Thereby, the game ball rolling on the rear stage 25B moves into the ball inlet 86 formed in the raised portion 83, passes through the warp path 82, and from the ball outlet 88 to the front stage 25F (more specifically, It is guided on a gentle slope 80). Note that a triangular protrusion 87 (see FIG. 3) that is inclined downward toward the front is erected at the back of the warp path 82, that is, directly below the sphere entrance 86. The game ball that has been transferred into the 82 is surely rolled toward the front of the gaming machine (the front stage 25F side). The above is the description of the front stage 25F and the rear stage 25B.

図３に示すように、後側ステージ２５Ｂの上方には、球転動部６０が備えられている。詳細には、球転動部６０は、***部８３の真上位置に表示窓２３Ｗの下辺に沿って配設されている。球転動部６０は、横長の台形状をなし、上面は両端部から中央部に向かって緩やかに下方に傾斜している（図８を参照）。球転動部６０の中央部には、球転動部６０を上下に貫通した流下孔６１が形成され、この流下孔６１の真下位置には、後側ステージ２５Ｂの***部８３に形成された球入口８６が設けられている。これにより、球転動部６０上を転動し、流下孔６１から流下した遊技球は、後側ステージ２５Ｂの球入口８６から直接ワープ路８２へ転入するように構成されている。なお、球転動部６０の前端縁には、落下防止壁６２が形成されており、球転動部６０上で転動する遊技球が、球転動部６０の前端縁から前側に流下することが防止されている。また、ワープ路８２の球出口８８の真下位置に始動入賞口１４が設けられているので、球転動部６０からの遊技球の出口（球出口８８）の真下位置には、始動入賞口１４が設けられていることになる（図１を参照）。即ち、球転動部６０から流下した遊技球が、始動入賞口１４に向かって案内される。さらに、球転動部６０の下面と***部８３の上面との間の隙間は、遊技球の直径よりも若干大きくなっており、後側ステージ２５Ｂを左右に転動する遊技球が、球転動部６０と接触しないようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 3, a ball rolling unit 60 is provided above the rear stage 25B. Specifically, the ball rolling part 60 is disposed along the lower side of the display window 23 </ b> W at a position directly above the raised part 83. The ball rolling portion 60 has a horizontally long trapezoidal shape, and the upper surface is gently inclined downward from both end portions toward the central portion (see FIG. 8). In the central part of the ball rolling part 60, a flow down hole 61 penetrating the ball rolling part 60 up and down is formed, and at a position directly below the flow down hole 61 is formed in a raised part 83 of the rear stage 25B. A ball inlet 86 is provided. Thereby, the game ball that has rolled on the ball rolling portion 60 and has flowed down from the flow-down hole 61 is configured to be transferred directly into the warp path 82 from the ball entrance 86 of the rear stage 25B. Note that a fall prevention wall 62 is formed at the front end edge of the ball rolling portion 60, and a game ball rolling on the ball rolling portion 60 flows down from the front end edge of the ball rolling portion 60 to the front side. It is prevented. Further, since the start winning opening 14 is provided at a position directly below the ball exit 88 of the warp path 82, the start winning opening 14 is located at a position directly below the exit of the game ball from the ball rolling section 60 (ball exit 88). Is provided (see FIG. 1). That is, the game ball flowing down from the ball rolling unit 60 is guided toward the start winning opening 14. Further, the gap between the lower surface of the ball rolling portion 60 and the upper surface of the raised portion 83 is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball rolling left and right on the rear stage 25B It does not come into contact with the moving part 60.

ところで、図９に示すように、囲壁４８のうち、表示窓２３Ｗ側の側壁には、縦長の矩形窓４８Ｗが形成されている。矩形窓４８Ｗの上側領域には、上側遊転部５１の左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓが臨んでおり、矩形窓４８Ｗの下側領域は、下側遊転部５２と上側遊転部５１とで挟まれた空間に連通している。そして、常には、この矩形窓４８Ｗを側方から覆うようにして、本発明の第１の球誘導部材９０及び第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００が備えられている。   Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 9, a vertically long rectangular window 48 </ b> W is formed on the side wall of the surrounding wall 48 on the display window 23 </ b> W side. The front end portion 57S of the left guide path 57 of the upper idler 51 faces the upper region of the rectangular window 48W, and the lower region of the rectangular window 48W includes the lower idler 52 and the upper idler 51. It communicates with the space between. The first spherical guiding member 90 and the second spherical guiding member (spherical return member) 100 of the present invention are always provided so as to cover the rectangular window 48W from the side.

第１の球誘導部材９０は、図１０にその断面構造が示されており、本体９１の上端部に、球受入部９２を備える一方、下端部に、金属製の重り部９３（本発明の「付勢手段」に相当する）を備え、これら球受入部９２と重り部９３との間に設けた軸部９４によって、装飾枠２３に回動可能に軸支されている。軸部９４は、囲壁４８の下端部に設けられた固定部材３０と、装飾枠２３の奥壁２３Ｋとの間に差し渡されており、遊技盤１１面に対して直交しかつ水平方向を向いている（図９を参照）。これにより、第１の球誘導部材９０は、遊技盤１１面に平行な面内で回動する。即ち、球受入部９２が遊技盤１１面に平行な面内で回動して上下に移動する。   FIG. 10 shows a cross-sectional structure of the first ball guiding member 90. The first ball guiding member 90 includes a ball receiving portion 92 at the upper end portion of the main body 91, and a metal weight portion 93 (of the present invention at the lower end portion). (Corresponding to an “urging means”) and is pivotally supported by the decorative frame 23 by a shaft portion 94 provided between the ball receiving portion 92 and the weight portion 93. The shaft portion 94 is interposed between the fixing member 30 provided at the lower end portion of the surrounding wall 48 and the back wall 23K of the decorative frame 23, and is orthogonal to the surface of the game board 11 and faces the horizontal direction. (See FIG. 9). Thereby, the first ball guiding member 90 rotates in a plane parallel to the surface of the game board 11. That is, the ball receiving portion 92 rotates in a plane parallel to the surface of the game board 11 and moves up and down.

ここで、重り部９３は、軸部９４よりも若干、右側通路５０側にずれた位置に重心が位置している。これにより、第１の球誘導部材９０には、図１０における時計回りのモーメントが働き、第１の球誘導部材９０は、図１０に示した基本姿勢（第１の球誘導部材９０の「第１位置」）に維持されている。   Here, the center of gravity of the weight portion 93 is located at a position slightly shifted from the shaft portion 94 toward the right passage 50 side. As a result, a clockwise moment in FIG. 10 acts on the first sphere guiding member 90, and the first sphere guiding member 90 has the basic posture shown in FIG. 1 position ").

第１の球誘導部材９０は、本体９１の上端部から球受入部９２を側方に膨出させた構造をなし、この球受入部９２は、遊技球がちょうど１つ受容可能な大きさとなっている。本体９１のうち、軸部９４と球受入部９２との間には、略「く」の字形状をなした屈曲部９１Ｋが形成され、この屈曲部９１Ｋの内側には、凹所９６（本発明の「収容部」に相当する）が形成されている。また、本体９１のうち球受入部９２と屈曲部９１Ｋとの間には湾曲面９５が形成されており、この湾曲面９５を後述する第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００に当接することで、第１の球誘導部材９０は、図１０に示した基本姿勢に位置決めされる。また、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢のときには、屈曲部９１Ｋに形成された凹所９６に第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の一部が収容される。なお、基本姿勢における第１の球誘導部材９０の球受入部９２の位置が、本発明の「第１位置」に相当する。   The first ball guiding member 90 has a structure in which a ball receiving portion 92 bulges laterally from the upper end portion of the main body 91, and the ball receiving portion 92 has a size that can accept exactly one game ball. ing. In the main body 91, a bent portion 91 </ b> K having a substantially “<” shape is formed between the shaft portion 94 and the ball receiving portion 92, and a recess 96 (a book) is formed inside the bent portion 91 </ b> K. (Corresponding to the “accommodating portion” of the invention). Further, a curved surface 95 is formed between the ball receiving portion 92 and the bent portion 91K in the main body 91, and this curved surface 95 abuts on a second spherical guiding member (spherical return member) 100 described later. Thus, the first ball guiding member 90 is positioned in the basic posture shown in FIG. When the first ball guide member 90 is in the basic posture, a part of the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 is accommodated in the recess 96 formed in the bent portion 91K. The position of the ball receiving portion 92 of the first ball guiding member 90 in the basic posture corresponds to the “first position” of the present invention.

本体９１のうち、屈曲部９１Ｋと軸部９４との中間位置には、支軸９７が備えられている。支軸９７は、本体９１の後方（図１０における紙面奥側）に向かって起立して、遊技盤１１面と直交（図１１における左右方向）する方向に延びている。この支軸９７には、後述する第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００に連結されたリンク部材１５０の一端部１５２が回動可能に連結されている。詳細には、支軸９７は、円筒形状をなし、図１１に示すように、リンク部材１５０の一端部１５２に形成された軸孔１５２Ａに挿入されている。そして、支軸９７の内部に形成された雌螺子部９７Ａに、リンク部材１５０の後面側から螺子１５１が螺合されている。これにより、第１の球誘導部材９０とリンク部材１５０とが支軸９７を中心に回動可能に連結されると共に、リンク部材１５０の軸孔１５２Ａからの支軸９７の抜け止めが図られている。   In the main body 91, a support shaft 97 is provided at an intermediate position between the bent portion 91 </ b> K and the shaft portion 94. The support shaft 97 stands up toward the rear of the main body 91 (the back side in the drawing in FIG. 10), and extends in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the game board 11 (the left-right direction in FIG. 11). One end portion 152 of a link member 150 connected to a later-described second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 97. Specifically, the support shaft 97 has a cylindrical shape, and is inserted into a shaft hole 152A formed in one end portion 152 of the link member 150, as shown in FIG. Then, a screw 151 is screwed into a female screw portion 97 </ b> A formed inside the support shaft 97 from the rear surface side of the link member 150. As a result, the first ball guiding member 90 and the link member 150 are connected so as to be rotatable about the support shaft 97, and the support shaft 97 is prevented from coming off from the shaft hole 152A of the link member 150. Yes.

さて、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００は、図９及び図１０に示されており、基端部に備えた軸部１０２によって回動可能に軸支されている。第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００は、図１０に示すように、底壁１００Ｓが円弧状に緩やかに湾曲している。また、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の前端縁と後端縁には、図９に示すように、壁部１００Ｋ（図９を参照）が起立形成され、これら両壁部１００Ｋと底壁１００Ｓとで断面凹状の球受け凹所１０５が形成されている（図７を参照）。   Now, the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, and is pivotally supported by a shaft portion 102 provided at the base end portion. As shown in FIG. 10, the second spherical guiding member (spherical return member) 100 has a bottom wall 100S that is gently curved in an arc shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, wall portions 100K (see FIG. 9) are erected and formed on the front end edge and the rear end edge of the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100, and both the wall portions 100K. And the bottom wall 100S form a ball receiving recess 105 having a concave cross section (see FIG. 7).

第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００を軸支した軸部１０２は、第１の球誘導部材９０を軸支した軸部９４よりも上方位置で、矩形窓４８Ｗの下端部分に差し渡されている。軸部１０２は、第１の球誘導部材９０を軸支した軸部９４と同様に、遊技盤１１面に対して直交しかつ水平方向を向いている。これにより、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００は、遊技盤１１面に平行な面内で回動する。   The shaft portion 102 that pivotally supports the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 is positioned above the shaft portion 94 that pivotally supports the first ball guiding member 90 and passes to the lower end portion of the rectangular window 48W. Has been. The shaft portion 102 is orthogonal to the surface of the game board 11 and faces the horizontal direction, like the shaft portion 94 that pivotally supports the first ball guiding member 90. Thereby, the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 rotates in a plane parallel to the surface of the game board 11.

第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の基端部寄り位置には、ヒンジ片１０３が形成されている。ヒンジ片１０３は、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の球受け凹所１０５が形成された側と反対側に形成され、底壁１００Ｓから側方に突出している。より詳細には、ヒンジ片１０３は、図９に示すように、底壁１００Ｓの前縁部に設けられており、先端部には、支軸１０４が形成されている。支軸１０４は、ヒンジ片１０３の後方（図９における紙面奥側）に向かって起立して、遊技盤１１面と直交するように延びている。そして、この支軸１０４に、リンク部材１５０の他端部１５３が回動可能に連結されている。詳細には、支軸１０４は、第１の球誘導部材９０に備えられた支軸９７と同様に、円筒形状をなし、リンク部材１５０の他端部１５３に形成された軸孔１５３Ａに挿入されている（図１１を参照）。そして、支軸１０４の内部に形成された雌螺子部１０４Ａに、リンク部材１５０の後面側から螺子１５１が螺合されている。これにより、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００とリンク部材１５０とが回動可能に連結されると共に、リンク部材１５０の軸孔１５３Ａからの支軸１０４の抜け止めが図られている。   A hinge piece 103 is formed at a position closer to the base end of the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100. The hinge piece 103 is formed on the side opposite to the side where the ball receiving recess 105 of the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 is formed, and protrudes laterally from the bottom wall 100S. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the hinge piece 103 is provided at the front edge portion of the bottom wall 100 </ b> S, and a support shaft 104 is formed at the tip portion. The support shaft 104 stands up toward the rear of the hinge piece 103 (the back side in FIG. 9) and extends to be orthogonal to the surface of the game board 11. And the other end part 153 of the link member 150 is connected with this spindle 104 so that rotation is possible. Specifically, the support shaft 104 has a cylindrical shape and is inserted into a shaft hole 153 </ b> A formed in the other end 153 of the link member 150, similarly to the support shaft 97 provided in the first ball guiding member 90. (See FIG. 11). Then, a screw 151 is screwed into a female screw portion 104 </ b> A formed inside the support shaft 104 from the rear surface side of the link member 150. Accordingly, the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 and the link member 150 are rotatably connected, and the support shaft 104 is prevented from coming off from the shaft hole 153A of the link member 150. .

つまり、第１の球誘導部材９０と第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００とは、リンク部材１５０によって連結されている。そして、第１の球誘導部材９０が軸部９４を中心に回動した場合には、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００も軸部１０２を中心として回動し、第１の球誘導部材９０と第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００とが常に略平行な状態を保つように構成されている。   That is, the first ball guiding member 90 and the second ball guiding member (ball returning member) 100 are connected by the link member 150. When the first ball guiding member 90 rotates about the shaft portion 94, the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 also rotates about the shaft portion 102, and the first ball The guide member 90 and the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 are configured to always maintain a substantially parallel state.

ここで、図１０に示すように、左案内路５７の下面には、左案内路５７の幅方向（図１０における紙面と直交する方向）に延びた突条１３０が設けられている。そして、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢となったときに、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の先端部がこの突条１３０に当接することで、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の囲壁４８の内側への回動が規制され、球返し部材１００も基本姿勢となると共に、矩形窓４８Ｗのうち、左案内路５７よりも下側領域が、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００によって塞がれる。   Here, as shown in FIG. 10, a protrusion 130 extending in the width direction of the left guide path 57 (a direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 10) is provided on the lower surface of the left guide path 57. When the first ball guiding member 90 assumes the basic posture, the tip of the second ball guiding member (ball returning member) 100 abuts on the protrusion 130, so that the second ball guiding member The rotation of the (ball return member) 100 to the inside of the surrounding wall 48 is restricted, and the ball return member 100 is also in the basic posture, and the region below the left guide path 57 in the rectangular window 48W is the second region. The ball guide member (ball return member) 100 is closed.

次に、上記構成からなるパチンコ遊技機の作用・効果を説明する。
操作ノブ２８を操作して、遊技球が連続的に遊技盤１１の遊技領域における上方部分に弾き出されると、それら遊技球は、障害釘、ランプ風車１７，風車１９等に当たって向きを変えられ、ランダムな経路を通って遊技領域の下方に向かう。 Next, operations and effects of the pachinko gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described.
When the operation knob 28 is operated and the game balls are continuously blown out to the upper part of the game area of the game board 11, the game balls are directed to the obstacle nails, the lamp windmill 17, the windmill 19 and the like, and are turned randomly. Go down the gaming area through a simple route.

遊技球が、下方に向かう途中で始動ゲート１８を通過すると、普通図柄表示領域２４にて「０」〜「９」までの数字を所定期間に亘って変動表示した後、所定の数字を確定表示する。そして、確定表示された数字が奇数の場合に、遊技盤１１の裏に設けたソレノイドが駆動されて、可動翼片１４Ｃ，１４Ｃが所定期間に亘って横に倒れ、始動入賞口１４が開放される。   When the game ball passes through the start gate 18 on the way downward, the numbers from “0” to “9” are variably displayed over a predetermined period in the normal symbol display area 24, and then the predetermined number is confirmed and displayed. To do. And when the number displayed on the final display is an odd number, the solenoid provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C fall sideways over a predetermined period, and the start winning opening 14 is opened. The

遊技球が、下方に向かう途中で、各入賞口１４，１５，２０，２１に入ると、その遊技球は、遊技盤１１の裏側に取り込まれ、代わりに所定数の賞球が上皿２７Ａに払い出される。   When the game ball enters each winning opening 14, 15, 20, 21 in the middle of the downward direction, the game ball is taken into the back side of the game board 11, and instead, a predetermined number of prize balls are placed on the upper plate 27A. To be paid out.

また、遊技球が始動入賞口１４に入った場合には、表示装置１３に表示された各特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃ（図１参照）が、所定時間に亘ってスクロール表示された後で、順次に停止表示される。そして、３つの特別図柄１３Ａ，１３Ｂ，１３Ｃが、ぞろ目になると、遊技盤１１の裏に設けたソレノイド（図示せず）が駆動され、可動扉１５Ｔが所定期間に亘って前側に倒れて、大入賞口１５が開いた「大当たり状態」になる。その大入賞口１５が開放しているラウンド中に、大入賞口１５内の継続入賞口に遊技球が入ると、そのラウンドが終了した後で、連続して次のラウンドが実行され、これが最高で１５ラウンドまで繰り返される。   When the game ball enters the start winning opening 14, after the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C (see FIG. 1) displayed on the display device 13 are scrolled and displayed for a predetermined time, Stops are displayed in sequence. When the three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C become rough, a solenoid (not shown) provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, and the movable door 15T falls forward for a predetermined period. Then, the big winning opening 15 is opened to the “hit state”. When a game ball enters the continuous winning opening in the big winning opening 15 during the round in which the big winning opening 15 is open, the next round is continuously executed after the round is over, and this is the highest. Repeat up to 15 rounds.

さて、幾つかの遊技球は、図３に示すように、表示装置１３の上部の装飾枠２３の上辺部分に形成された入球口３９に入り込み、内部通路部４１を通過して、出球口４３に達する。出球口４３に達した遊技球は、磁石板４２の磁力によって上方に吸引され、磁石板４２にぶら下がった状態で、表示窓２３Ｗの上方を左端から右端へ向かって移動する。   Now, as shown in FIG. 3, some game balls enter the entrance 39 formed in the upper side portion of the decoration frame 23 on the upper side of the display device 13, pass through the internal passage portion 41, and exit the ball. Reach mouth 43. The game ball that has reached the ball outlet 43 is attracted upward by the magnetic force of the magnet plate 42 and moves upward from the left end to the right end of the display window 23 </ b> W while being hung on the magnet plate 42.

磁石板４２の右端に達した遊技球は、自重によって下方に流下する。この遊技球は、球受け樋５３上に落下し、球受け樋５３の傾斜によって誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａに向かって転動する。   The game ball that has reached the right end of the magnet plate 42 flows downward due to its own weight. The game ball falls onto the ball receiving bowl 53 and rolls toward the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A due to the inclination of the ball receiving bowl 53.

誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａ上に転入した遊技球は、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａ上を図５における反時計回りの方向へ転がりながら、徐々に中心部分に向かう。そして、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａに形成された左右２つの落下孔５４Ｌ，５４Ｒの何れかから、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの下方へ流下（落下）する。   The game ball that has been transferred onto the guide path distribution rolling plate 51A gradually moves toward the central portion while rolling in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. And it flows down (falls) to the lower part of the guide path distribution rolling plate 51A from either one of the left and right drop holes 54L, 54R formed in the guide path distribution plate 51A.

ここで、まず、右側の落下孔５４Ｒから流下（落下）した遊技球の流下態様について説明する。落下孔５４Ｒから流下（落下）した遊技球は、落下孔５４Ｒの真下位置に設けられた右案内路５８上に落下する。そして、右案内路５８の傾斜によって、遊技機前方（遊技者側）（図３における紙面手前側）へ向かって転がる。   Here, a flow mode of the game ball flowing down (falling) from the right drop hole 54R will be described first. The game ball that has flowed down (dropped) from the drop hole 54R falls on a right guide path 58 provided at a position directly below the drop hole 54R. Then, due to the inclination of the right guide path 58, it rolls toward the front of the gaming machine (player side) (the front side of the page in FIG. 3).

右案内路５８の先端部５８Ｓに達した遊技球は下方に流下（落下）し、右案内路５８の真下位置に設けられた球受け樋５６上に落下する。すると遊技球は、球受け樋５６の傾斜によって、下側遊転部５２に案内される。   The game ball that has reached the front end 58S of the right guide path 58 flows downward (falls) and falls onto a ball receiving cage 56 provided at a position directly below the right guide path 58. Then, the game ball is guided to the lower idler 52 by the inclination of the ball receiving cage 56.

下側遊転部５２に案内された遊技球は、下側遊転部５２上を図７における反時計回りの方向へ転がりながら、徐々に中心部分に向かう。そして、下側遊転部５２に形成された３つの落下孔５５の何れかから、下側遊転部５２の下方へ流下（落下）する。   The game ball guided to the lower idler 52 gradually moves toward the central portion while rolling on the lower idler 52 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. Then, it flows down (falls) below the lower free-spinning part 52 from any one of the three drop holes 55 formed in the lower free-slewing part 52.

３つの落下孔５５のうち、右側の２つの落下孔５５Ｒから流下（落下）した遊技球は、前側ステージ案内路６４上に落下し、前側ステージ案内路６４の傾斜によって遊技機前方へ転がって、前側ステージ２５Ｆの右端位置に案内される。   Among the three drop holes 55, the game ball that has flowed down (falled) from the two drop holes 55R on the right side falls on the front stage guide path 64 and rolls forward in front of the gaming machine due to the inclination of the front stage guide path 64. Guided to the right end position of the front stage 25F.

前側ステージ２５Ｆの右端位置に達した遊技球は、前側ステージ２５Ｆの傾斜によって、前側ステージ２５Ｆの中央部分に向かって転動する。そして、遊技球は前側ステージ２５Ｆ上を左右に往復しながら、徐々に遊技機前方へ向かい、前端縁から表示装置１３の下方に向かって流下される。   The game ball that has reached the right end position of the front stage 25F rolls toward the central portion of the front stage 25F due to the inclination of the front stage 25F. Then, the game ball gradually moves forward in front of the gaming machine while reciprocating left and right on the front stage 25F, and flows down from the front end edge toward the lower side of the display device 13.

一方、３つの落下孔５５のうち、左側の１つの落下孔５５Ｌから流下（落下）した遊技球は、後側ステージ２５Ｂの右端部上に落下する。そして、後側ステージ２５Ｂの傾斜によって、後側ステージ２５Ｂの中央部分に向かって転動する。   On the other hand, of the three drop holes 55, the game ball that has flowed down (dropped) from the left drop hole 55L falls on the right end of the rear stage 25B. And it rolls toward the center part of the rear stage 25B by the inclination of the rear stage 25B.

後側ステージ２５Ｂの中央部分には、***部８３が形成されているが、通常、遊技球は、この***部８３を乗り越えて、後側ステージ２５Ｂの左端位置まで達する。そして、左端位置にて折り返して、再び***部８３に向かって転動する。ここで、ほとんどの遊技球は、後側ステージ２５Ｂを左右に転動する間に複数回に亘って***部８３を乗り越え、徐々に勢いが落とされる。そして、後側ステージ２５Ｂを転動する多くの遊技球は、左右の緩斜面８４から前側ステージ２５Ｆ上に落下する。後側ステージ２５Ｂの緩斜面８４から流下した遊技球は、前側ステージ２５Ｆを横切って前方へ転がり、表示装置１３の下方へ流下される。   A raised portion 83 is formed at the central portion of the rear stage 25B. Normally, the game ball rides over the raised portion 83 and reaches the left end position of the rear stage 25B. Then, it turns back at the left end position and rolls toward the raised portion 83 again. Here, most of the game balls ride over the raised portion 83 a plurality of times while rolling left and right on the rear stage 25B, and the momentum is gradually reduced. Many game balls rolling on the rear stage 25B fall on the front stage 25F from the left and right gentle slopes 84. The game ball that has flowed down from the gentle slope 84 of the rear stage 25B rolls forward across the front stage 25F and flows down below the display device 13.

また、後側ステージ２５Ｂを転動する遊技球の一部は、***部８３に形成された球入口８６からワープ路８２に転入する。ワープ路８２に転入した遊技球は、球出口８８から前側ステージ２５Ｆの中央部に形成された緩斜面８０上に排出され、上側ステージ２５Ｆを横切って表示装置１３の下方に流下される。   A part of the game ball rolling on the rear stage 25 </ b> B moves into the warp path 82 from the ball entrance 86 formed in the raised portion 83. The game ball transferred into the warp path 82 is discharged from the ball outlet 88 onto a gentle slope 80 formed at the center of the front stage 25F, and flows down below the display device 13 across the upper stage 25F.

ここで、ワープ路８２の球出口８８の真下位置には、始動入賞口１４が配設されている。従って、後側ステージ２５Ｂの緩斜面８４から前側ステージ２５Ｆ上を横切って表示装置１３の下方へ流下された遊技球に比較して、ワープ路８２を通って、前側ステージ２５Ｆの緩斜面８０から流下された遊技球の方が、始動入賞口１４へ入賞し易くなっている。これにより、後側ステージ２５Ｂからワープ路８２へ遊技球が転入した場合には、始動入賞口１４への入賞の期待を高めることができる。以上が誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの右側の落下孔５４Ｒから流下した遊技球の流下態様の説明である。   Here, the start winning opening 14 is disposed at a position just below the ball outlet 88 of the warp path 82. Therefore, compared with the game ball that has flowed down from the gentle slope 84 of the rear stage 25B to the lower side of the display device 13 across the front stage 25F, it flows down from the gentle slope 80 of the front stage 25F through the warp path 82. The played game ball is easier to win the start winning opening 14. Thereby, when a game ball is transferred from the rear stage 25B to the warp path 82, the expectation of winning at the start winning opening 14 can be increased. The above is the description of the flow-down mode of the game ball that has flowed down from the right-side drop hole 54R of the guide path sorting and spinning plate 51A.

さて、誘導路振り分け遊転皿５１Ａの左側の落下孔５４Ｌから流下（落下）した遊技球の流下態様は以下のようになる。即ち、左側の落下孔５４Ｌから流下（落下）した遊技球は、落下孔５４Ｌの真下位置に設けられた左案内路５７上に落下し、左案内路５７の傾斜によって矩形窓４８Ｗ側へ向かって転がる。すると、遊技球は、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓから矩形窓４８Ｗを通って、基本姿勢に保持されている第１の球誘導部材９０の球受入部９２に受容される。ここで、球受入部９２の底面は、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓの底面よりも低くなっているので、スムーズに遊技球の受渡しを行うことができる（図１２を参照）。   Now, the flow-down mode of the game ball that has flowed down (dropped) from the left-side drop hole 54L of the guide path sorting rolling plate 51A is as follows. That is, the game ball flowing down (falling) from the left drop hole 54L falls on the left guide path 57 provided immediately below the drop hole 54L, and toward the rectangular window 48W side by the inclination of the left guide path 57. roll over. Then, the game ball is received from the front end portion 57S of the left guide path 57 through the rectangular window 48W to the ball receiving portion 92 of the first ball guiding member 90 held in the basic posture. Here, since the bottom surface of the ball receiving portion 92 is lower than the bottom surface of the front end portion 57S of the left guide path 57, the game ball can be delivered smoothly (see FIG. 12).

球受入部９２に遊技球が受容されると、第１の球誘導部材９０は受容した遊技球の自重によって軸部９４を中心として、反時計回りに回動し、球受入部９２は遊技球を保持した状態で徐々に降下する。このとき、第１の球誘導部材９０（球受入部９２）は、表示部３４の前側を横切って移動するので、遊技球の流下態様を斬新なものとすることができる（図１３を参照）。   When the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 92, the first ball guiding member 90 is rotated counterclockwise around the shaft portion 94 by the weight of the received game ball, and the ball receiving portion 92 is played by the game ball. Gradually descend while holding At this time, since the first ball guiding member 90 (the ball receiving portion 92) moves across the front side of the display portion 34, the flow-down mode of the game ball can be made novel (see FIG. 13). .

また、第１の球誘導部材９０が反時計回りに回動すると、リンク部材１５０によって第１の球誘導部材９０と連結された第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００も、軸部１０２を中心として反時計回りに回動される。すると、図１３に示すように、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００が徐々に寝かされて、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓと第１の球誘導部材９０との間に張り出した状態となる。   When the first ball guiding member 90 is rotated counterclockwise, the second ball guiding member (ball returning member) 100 connected to the first ball guiding member 90 by the link member 150 is also the shaft portion 102. Is rotated counterclockwise around the center. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 is gradually laid down and protrudes between the front end portion 57 </ b> S of the left guide path 57 and the first ball guide member 90. It becomes a state.

第１の球誘導部材９０がさらに回動し、球受入部９２の先端が球転動部６０の上面に当接した排出姿勢となると、球受入部９２から球転動部６０上に遊技球が排出される（図９及び図１４を参照）。ここで、第１の球誘導部材９０により左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓから球転動部６０に達するまでの遊技球の移動経路が本発明の「第１の遊技球誘導路」に相当する。遊技球が球受入部９２から排出されると、第１の球誘導部材９０には、遊技球の自重が作用しなくなり、重り部９３の自重によって時計回り方向に回動される。また、このとき、第１の球誘導部材９０の回動に連動して第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００は徐々に起こされ、左案内路５７と第１の球誘導部材９０との間から退避する。そして、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢（第１の球誘導部材９０の「第１位置」）となると、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の先端部が突条１３０に当接して矩形窓４８Ｗの下側領域を覆うと共に、球受入部９２が矩形窓４８Ｗの上側領域において左案内路５７に対面する基本姿勢となる。なお、排出姿勢における第１の球誘導部材９０の位置が本発明における第１の球誘導部材９０の「第２位置」に相当する。このように、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢となると、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００は、左案内路５７と第１の球誘導部材９０との間から退避するので、第１の球誘導部材９０の球受入部９２を左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓに連結させることができ、遊技球をスムーズに左案内路５７から球受入部９２に移動させることができる。また、第１の球誘導部材９０が排出姿勢となると、球受入部９２が球転動部６０の上面に当接して、反時計回り方向への回動が停止するので、第１の球誘導部材９０が一回転することを規制できる。しかも、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢（「第１位置」）のときには、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００のヒンジ片１０３が、第１の球誘導部材９０の本体９１に形成された凹所９６内に収容されるので、基本姿勢において第１の球誘導部材９０と第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００とをコンパクトに纏めることができる。   When the first ball guiding member 90 further rotates and the discharging posture is such that the tip of the ball receiving portion 92 is in contact with the upper surface of the ball rolling portion 60, the game ball is moved from the ball receiving portion 92 onto the ball rolling portion 60. Is discharged (see FIGS. 9 and 14). Here, the moving path of the game ball from the front end portion 57S of the left guide path 57 to the ball rolling section 60 by the first ball guide member 90 corresponds to the “first game ball guide path” of the present invention. . When the game ball is discharged from the ball receiving portion 92, the first ball guide member 90 is no longer affected by its own weight, and is rotated clockwise by the weight of the weight portion 93. At this time, the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 is gradually raised in conjunction with the rotation of the first ball guide member 90, and the left guide path 57 and the first ball guide member 90 are Evacuate from between. When the first ball guiding member 90 is in the basic posture (the “first position” of the first ball guiding member 90), the tip of the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 becomes the protrusion 130. It contacts and covers the lower area of the rectangular window 48W, and the ball receiving portion 92 assumes a basic posture facing the left guide path 57 in the upper area of the rectangular window 48W. The position of the first ball guiding member 90 in the discharging posture corresponds to the “second position” of the first ball guiding member 90 in the present invention. Thus, when the first ball guiding member 90 is in the basic posture, the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 is retracted from between the left guide path 57 and the first ball guiding member 90. The ball receiving portion 92 of the first ball guiding member 90 can be connected to the tip portion 57S of the left guide path 57, and the game ball can be smoothly moved from the left guide path 57 to the ball receiving portion 92. Further, when the first ball guiding member 90 is in the discharging posture, the ball receiving portion 92 comes into contact with the upper surface of the ball rolling portion 60 and stops turning counterclockwise. The member 90 can be restricted from rotating once. Moreover, when the first ball guide member 90 is in the basic posture (“first position”), the hinge piece 103 of the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 is the main body 91 of the first ball guide member 90. Therefore, the first ball guiding member 90 and the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 can be compactly gathered in the basic posture.

第１の球誘導部材９０（球受入部９２）によって球転動部６０上に排出された遊技球は、球転動部６０の中央部に向かって転がって、流下孔６１から下方に流下する。この遊技球は、後側ステージ２５Ｂ（より詳細には、***部８３）の上面に形成された球入口８６に直接入球し、ワープ路８２を通って球出口８８から、前側ステージ２５Ｆの緩斜面８０を通って表示装置１３の下方に流下する。つまり、球転動部６０上で転動した遊技球は、ほぼ確実に始動入賞口１４へ入賞する。これにより、第１の球誘導部材９０の球受入部９２に遊技球が受容され、第１の球誘導路を通っている時点で、遊技者に始動入賞口１４への入球に対する期待を抱かせることができる。   The game ball discharged onto the ball rolling unit 60 by the first ball guiding member 90 (ball receiving unit 92) rolls toward the center of the ball rolling unit 60 and flows down from the flow down hole 61. . This game ball directly enters the ball inlet 86 formed on the upper surface of the rear stage 25B (more specifically, the raised portion 83), passes through the warp path 82 and the ball outlet 88, and then loosens the front stage 25F. It flows down the display device 13 through the slope 80. That is, the game ball rolled on the ball rolling unit 60 almost certainly wins the start winning opening 14. As a result, when the game ball is received by the ball receiving portion 92 of the first ball guide member 90 and passes through the first ball guide path, the player is expected to enter the start winning opening 14. You can make it.

ところで、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢（「第１位置」）と排出姿勢（「第２位置」）との間に位置する間に、次の遊技球が左案内路５７から流下する場合がある。この場合には、左案内路５７から流下された遊技球が、第１の球誘導部材９０と左案内路５７との間に張り出した第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００（詳細には、球受け凹所１０５）に受け止められる。そして、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００に受け止められた遊技球は、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００の傾きによって、再度、矩形窓４８Ｗを通って下側遊転部５２へ案内される。この球返し部材１００により左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓから下側遊転部５２へ達するまでの遊技球の移動経路が本発明の「第２の遊技球誘導路」に相当する。ここで、球受け凹所１０５は、凹状をなしているので、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓから流下した遊技球を確実に受け止めることができる。また、上側遊転部５１の左案内路５７から矩形窓４８Ｗを通って側方に飛び出した遊技球が、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００に受け止められて、再度、矩形窓４８Ｗを通って下側遊転部５２に案内されるので、上側遊転部５１から下側遊転部５２へ向かう遊技球の誘導（流下）経路が複数種類となり、遊技球の流下態様の趣向性を向上させることができる。また、第１の遊技球誘導経路を流下した遊技球と第２の遊技球誘導経路を流下した遊技球とでは、前述の通り、始動入賞口１４への入球する確率が異なり、第１の遊技球誘導経路を通った遊技球の方が第２の遊技球誘導経路を流下する遊技球よりも始動入賞口１４への入球する確率が高くなっている。   By the way, while the first ball guiding member 90 is positioned between the basic posture (“first position”) and the discharge posture (“second position”), the next game ball flows down from the left guide path 57. There is a case. In this case, the game ball that has flowed down from the left guide path 57 is projected to the second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 (detailed) between the first ball guide member 90 and the left guide path 57. Is received by the ball receiving recess 105). Then, the game ball received by the second ball guiding member (ball returning member) 100 is again rotated downward through the rectangular window 48W due to the inclination of the second ball guiding member (ball returning member) 100. Guided to section 52. The moving path of the game ball from the tip part 57S of the left guide path 57 to the lower idler 52 by the ball return member 100 corresponds to the “second game ball guide path” of the present invention. Here, since the ball receiving recess 105 has a concave shape, it is possible to reliably receive the game ball flowing down from the front end portion 57S of the left guide path 57. In addition, the game ball that has jumped to the side from the left guide path 57 of the upper idler 51 through the rectangular window 48W is received by the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100, and again the rectangular window 48W. Since it is guided to the lower idler 52 through the path, there are a plurality of types of game ball guiding (downflow) paths from the upper idler 51 to the lower idler 52, and the game ball flow direction Can be improved. Further, as described above, the probability that the game ball that has flowed down the first game ball guiding path and the game ball that has flowed down the second game ball guiding path is different from the first winning ball opening 14, The probability that the game ball that has passed through the game ball guiding path enters the start winning opening 14 is higher than the game ball that flows down the second game ball guiding path.

このように、本実施形態によれば、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢（「第１位置」）のときには、左案内路５７の先端部５７Ｓに達した遊技球が、第１の球誘導部材９０によって球転動部６０に誘導される一方、第１の球誘導部材９０が基本姿勢（「第１位置」）と排出姿勢（「第２位置」）との間に位置するときには、左案内路５７から流下された遊技球が、第１の球誘導部材９０と左案内路５７との間に張り出した第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００（詳細には、球受け凹所１０５）に受け止められ、第２の球誘導部材（球返し部材）１００によって、再度、矩形窓４８Ｗを通って下側遊転部５２へ案内される。つまり、第１の球誘導部材９０が回動中に出現する第２の球誘導部材１００によって、遊技球の移動経路を、第１の球誘導部材９０による遊技球の移動経路とは異ならせることができる。そして、遊技球の移動経路が変化することで遊技者に注目させることができる。   Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the first ball guiding member 90 is in the basic posture (“first position”), the game ball that has reached the distal end portion 57S of the left guide path 57 is the first ball. When the first ball guide member 90 is positioned between the basic posture (“first position”) and the discharge posture (“second position”) while being guided to the ball rolling unit 60 by the guide member 90, A second ball guide member (ball return member) 100 (in detail, a ball receiving concave portion) in which the game ball flowing down from the left guide path 57 projects between the first ball guide member 90 and the left guide path 57. And is guided again by the second ball guiding member (ball return member) 100 to the lower idler 52 through the rectangular window 48W. That is, the moving path of the game ball is made different from the moving path of the game ball by the first ball guiding member 90 by the second ball guiding member 100 that appears while the first ball guiding member 90 is rotating. Can do. And a game player's attention can be paid to by changing the moving path of a game ball.
